S1: E 16 Sullivan Photography - Stephanie "Sissy" Sullivan

S1: E16 ** This was the episode that stared it all ** Sissy was the very first vendor to agree to be on in December of 2024, and she absolutely nailed it. I wanted to end season 1 when it all began, with the one vendor who said YES right out of the gate. Sissy has 20 years of experience as a licensed professional photographer with a BFA degree in photography and has been in business for over 20 years!  Not only does she consider photography her passion, but she also thinks of it as an art that exceeds all limitations. In addition to wedding venues, area churches and private properties are also a favorite as well as The Great Smoky Mountains! Sullivan Photography is licensed and permitted to photograph weddings, elopements, engagement sessions, family photography, and portraits in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.   Sullivan Photography also loves to travel and has captured weddings and events in other states such as Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.
